Keine belegbare Zuordnung in der geprüften Auswahl.

One complete short apparition encounter: an enlarging black dog approaches a farmhand, who crosses himself, after which it passes calmly. Searches for black dog apparition, cross protection, and animal transformations did not identify a complete ATU plot match.

Thompson-Motive

Retained raw V86 (Sign of the Cross) and added its specific V86.1 child (cross protects from injury); both match the source’s explicit causal clause. Retained possible F401.3.3 for the black dog’s supernatural growth while acknowledging identity is not explicit. D1766.6.5 requires a venomous dog killed by the sign, contradicted by the dog’s calm passage and absence of venom.

  V86.1 is “Sign of cross protects from injury.” The source directly explains that the dog passes calmly because the man crosses himself in time.

  • „Der Hund ging jedoch ruhig an dem Knechte vorbei, weil dieser sich noch zu guter Zeit bekreuzte“

  F401.3.3 is “Spirit as black dog.” The source describes an unusually enlarging black dog, in a collection of ghost legends, but does not explicitly call this dog a spirit. The context supports only a possible identity inference.

  • „Da sah er einen schwarzen Hund ihm entgegen kommen, der je näher er kam, immer größer wurde, bis derselbe die Höhe eines Pferdes erlangt hatte“

  Textbelege und Katalog

  V86 is “Sign of the Cross.” The source explicitly attributes the dog’s harmless passage to the farmhand crossing himself; the more specific V86.1 is also retained.

  • „weil dieser sich noch zu guter Zeit bekreuzte“
